Your Majesty, please draw the card

Not to mention how Liu Xi arranged to rescue Li Bai, but Lord Longyang followed Cao Zizhen back to Pingyuan Lord's Mansion, and came to a small courtyard with him the next day.

This is the foothold that Wang Juchen bought when he came to Chang'an. At first he lived in Wang Ting Mansion, and later he found this relatively cheap place with the help of Cao Zizhen.Although the yard is small, it looks simple and clean under careful arrangement.

Wang Juchen believed in Taoism and was meditating in the house at this time. When he heard that Cao Zizhen had brought guests, he rushed out to greet him without even putting on his shoes.Lord Longyang saw Wang Juchen's Daogu Xianfeng, with his own majesty, he couldn't help but secretly admired him.He saw that there were Taoist objects such as incense burner, gossip mirror, and futon in the house, and he couldn't help wondering: "Does Master Wang still practice Taoism?"

Wang Juchen saw that Lord Longyang's appearance was extremely extraordinary, and he was the person he had been looking for all this time. He couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, and said with a smile, "It's just for recuperation." After saying this, his face darkened, "Nowadays, the people are poor and need to recuperate most. At that time, it's a pity that I can only cultivate myself, but I don't have the opportunity to help the emperor govern the country and the world."

Lord Longyang naturally knew the cause and effect. He guessed that the emperor must have been influenced by someone for not being fooled by Wang Juchen, and he pretended to say: "I have seen Mr. Wang's Shishu, and it is really every word. Like your lord. Characters, even if they are not used by the emperor for a while, there will always be people who remember Mr. Wang well. What's more, I heard that the little emperor has already adopted your ten books?" When talking about the little emperor, the corner of Longyang Jun's mouth could not help showing A little bit of a smile, Li Bai was arrested last night when he failed to persuade others. Now the emperor should already know that the person he is looking for has appeared, right?

"It's just a county." Speaking of this, Cao Zizhen couldn't help complaining for his teacher, "It's better not to accept it!"

Lord Longyang shook his head and said: "Brother Cao's words are wrong. Longyang is in the rivers and lakes, and he has also heard that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. If Lord Wang's ambition can be realized in a county, the emperor will see how to implement it. The achievements brought by the Ten Shus will definitely be carried forward throughout the country. If it cannot be implemented in one county, then Mr. Wang will be glad that he did not implement it all over the country. It seems that the little emperor still has three Be very cautious."

Cao Zizhen looked embarrassed, he naturally didn't think it was the emperor's prudence, but took it as a result of the emperor and Prime Minister Zuo's jealousy. "Alas... I'm afraid that some people will care about the life and death of the people for their own selfishness." He could only mutter in a low voice.

Jun Longyang narrowed his eyes: "There really is such a person, I, Longyang, will be the first to not let him go!"

Cao Zizhen was stunned by the murderous aura emanating from Lord Longyang's body.Even Wang Juchen couldn't help but look at Lord Longyang again, trying to figure out his identity.If Long Yangjun's force is more powerful than his beauty, then he has to reconsider how to use Longyang Jun.But is that possible?

After a while, Cao Zizhen waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. How did Brother Long have a grudge with Li Bai? You may not know it, but he is very white, but he is very much loved by the emperor! I really don't know how he is a slave. Yan Mei came on, so the emperor made him a master of swordsmanship!"

Longyang Jun frowned.If nothing else, Li Bai will be his colleague in the future.Li Bai's poetic talent is remarkable, which is obvious to all people in the world.In terms of swordsmanship, he thought to himself that he would have to use [-]% of his strength to defeat Li Bai.

Long Yangjun is a genius of swordsmanship. When he was young, he mastered peerless swordsmanship without a teacher in the torrent. Later, he was taught by Guiguzi and became the number one swordsman in the world.In Guigu's sect, each skill has always been handed down to only one person, and Mr. Longyang is the only heir of Guigu's swordsmanship.There is no one in a million people with his experience. Li Bai is younger than him. With such achievements, he is no longer something mere Cao Zizhen can compare.

Wang Juchen is so smart, how can he not see Lord Longyang's displeasure, cut off Cao Zizhen's words immediately and said: "True son! How many times have I told you that Li Bai's poems are shocking to the world, the emperor loves him for his own reasons. Gossiping about other people's rights and wrongs behind their backs is not what a gentleman does!"

"Student... the student knows his mistake." Cao Zizhen was ashamed all of a sudden.

"Humph!"

"gentlemen……"

Seeing that the atmosphere was deadlocked, Mr. Longyang couldn't help laughing: "I don't have any personal grudges with that Li Bai, I offended someone else."

"How do you say that?" Cao Zizhen couldn't help being puzzled, "Could it be that you offended Eunuch Gao in the palace?" Li Bai was unrestrained and disregarded the powerful, and there were not many people he was willing to stand up for, but Cao Zizhen knew exactly that, Li Bai and Gao Lishi have a very good personal relationship.

"That's not true, it's just a personal matter. To tell you the truth, I'm quite proud of my appearance. I think I'm better than most women in the world, so I never get along with women. Some people feel a little bit against me because of this. Because of prejudice, I took one of his things as punishment. I guess that person is probably an old acquaintance with Li Bai!"

If someone else said this, Cao Zizhen would definitely disdain it, but it was Lord Longyang, and he blushed for no reason, thinking that Lord Longyang's appearance was originally unmatched by anyone.

"That's because he has blind eyes, so I can't blame Brother Long!" Cao Zizhen blurted out the words of defense without thinking.

Even Wang Juchen was thinking to himself that one day his ambition will be rewarded, and it would be good to have someone like Longyang Jun by his side, but now he naturally wants to use Longyang Jun in the most suitable place.

"In my opinion, it's better to resolve an enemy than to make a knot. It's better to settle this matter, so as to prevent the nephew from avoiding everywhere. It's just that Li Bai is the emperor's close servant. Although he has no official position, we must guard against him causing this matter to come to an end." In front of the emperor. As the saying goes, you must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others!"

"He wants to bring out the emperor to suppress me, and I have no choice. I can't go into the palace to beat up the little emperor, right? I think it's better for me to leave, so as not to hurt the two of you here!"

"Nephew wait a minute! This old man is just trying to find a way for my nephew. What my nephew said is not only an insult to my old man, but also my nephew himself!" Wang Juchen spoke righteously and loudly.

Lord Longyang paused, and asked, "What is your opinion, Lord Wang?"

"The old man thinks that my nephew should indeed enter the palace, but it's not because of a whim, but to earn fame. The emperor is thirsty for talent, and this old man intends to recommend you to be the emperor's bodyguard. In this way, my nephew will have an official position. , with the emperor at his side, there is no need to worry about Li Bai. It will be much more convenient to reconcile with the other party later."

Jun Longyang was startled: "You want to introduce me to the little emperor?"

Wang Juchen clasped his fists and said, "It is the duty of a minister to recommend talents for the emperor."

Jun Longyang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will bring the Emperor 'bad'?"

"Taoism emphasizes letting nature take its course. If the nephew really agrees with the emperor, it is also God's will."

Lord Longyang said in his heart, you, Wang Juchen, who talked about beauty tricks so sanctimoniously, are also No.1.However, although doing so is different from what was originally expected, it is still a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.Anyway, he originally wanted to gain Wang Juchen's trust, and pretended to be in cahoots with him.

Lord Longyang said a few more things that made him hesitate, but Wang Juchen and Cao Zizhen tried their best to "dispel" his worries.After making an appointment with Wang Juchen about the recommendation, Cao Zizhen originally wanted Lord Longyang to stay for dinner, but Lord Longyang said that he was going to fetch some things and meet at Lord Pingyuan's mansion in the evening.

After bidding farewell to Wang Juchen, Lord Longyang walked around Chang'an City to make sure that someone had followed him, and then left the city gate all the way to Shanglin Garden.He was about to return to the palace, and he could no longer hide his whereabouts to make the emperor have doubts about him.

Shanglin Garden is now the residence of Shanglin Guard and is heavily guarded.Long Yangjun looked outside for a while, and felt that sneaking in was a bit difficult, so he jumped out and asked someone to tell General Baima that an old man in the Hall of Fame was visiting.

Zhao Yun had just returned from military training the day before, and he was surprised when he heard the word Hall of Fame. He thought it was a secret envoy sent by the emperor, and immediately asked someone to welcome Mr. Longyang in.

Seeing the appearance of Lord Longyang, Zhao Yun couldn't help admiring secretly, what a master with a sword, his whole body's aura is impeccable!Little did they know that Lord Longyang was also watching him secretly.Lord Longyang knew that there was a guard in the palace who was trusted by the emperor, and now he is the commander of Shanglin Guard.He guessed that this person must be one of the first people summoned by the emperor, so he specially came to Shanglin Garden to have a look.Zhao Yun was strict in running the army, and there were many things in the Shanglin Guard that Lord Longyang had never heard or seen, which made him admire and be curious about the generals who commanded the army.At this time, Lord Longyang saw that Zhao Yun had clear eyes, one of the rare people who didn't care about his appearance, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that he wanted to take over the position of this person, so that the emperor would trust him as much as he did. easy...

"Dare to ask this..."

"I'm in Longyang, and I will be the emperor's bodyguard in the future. I've heard about General Zhao's name for a long time, but when I saw him today, I'm sure I'm a dragon and a phoenix!"

Zhao Yun recalled what Liu Xi had said that he already had a bodyguard candidate in his heart, but for some reason there was no further comment. (In fact, Liu Xi felt ashamed, so he only told Zhou Yu, Gao Lishi and Li Bai about Lord Longyang, and even Bao Zheng only got a vague order.) Seeing that this man finally came, he couldn't help being very happy, and clasped his fists Said: "From now on, the emperor's safety will depend entirely on you, General."

Lord Longyang smiled, reached out to shake hands with Zhao Yun: "Naturally."

At this moment, in a hidden tea room in Chang'an City——

"What you said is true?" The man in his early 50s who spoke was so excited that he grabbed the sleeve of the man opposite him.Although he is white, he can usually walk sideways in Chang'an City because he is Zhao You, the chief steward of Zuo Prime Minister Zhao Wenshan's family.

The person on the opposite side broke away from Zhao You's hand without showing any trace, and said with a frown, "This is an important matter for Zhu Jiu Clan, how can I talk nonsense?" This is a young man in his twenties, quite handsome, but a bit feminine , and there was an indescribable gloomy breath between his brows.

"I didn't expect that old man Wang Ting to have such guts!" Zhao You couldn't help but sigh, if what this person said was true, then Wang Ting would hang himself by the old birthday star—looking for death.

The young man whispered: "I have told you everything Prime Minister Zhao wants to know, so what he promised me...?"

"Naturally, my lord will not treat young master badly. What kind of Wang Juchen is he who kills relatives righteously? In my opinion, young master is the one who truly wholeheartedly serves the public and kills relatives righteously!"

Zhao You negotiated with the young man on how to hand over the evidence, and then let the young man leave through the back door.Zhao You watched the young man disappear at the end of the alley with extremely slow steps, and then happily turned back to drink a pot of tea.This matter was done without anyone noticing, thinking that Zhao Wenshan would reward himself heavily after returning home, he wished he could howl.

"Hehehe, Wang Ting, Wang Ting, I didn't expect you to be defeated by your own son. This is really a cycle of retribution from heaven!"

After a while, Zhao You left the tea room humming a little tune.
